Milk Thistle Seed Tea

Milk Thistle Seed Tea - 24 bags

Milk thistle, native to Southern Europe and North Africa, van grow to more than 3 ½ feet in height. The herb, with its pretty, red violet flowers, spread to gardens and farms in other parts of Europe. According to traditional Christian thought, the white pattern on the leaves comes from the milk of the Virgin Mary - a belief that clearly manifests how prized milk thistle was as a medicinal plant. Today, it is primarily the seeds that are used medicinally. They have such powerfully protective and regenerative effect on liver cells that their main constituent, silymarin, is used to treat poisoning by the very deadly amanita phalloides mushroom. Even extreme cases of hepatitis and liver degeneration have shown improvement when treated with milk thistle seeds. A tea made with the seeds has also been used for skin, vein and gallbladder ailments.

As a summary, this is a great herb for liver disorders. Milk Thistle helps protect the liver from biological and chemical toxins while boosting the liver's own regenerating powers. Also useful in aiding mild digestive problems.
